ŠMT Horizontal Boring and Milling Machines are designed to machine large, heavy and complex workpieces with exceptional accuracy and efficiency. Widely used in industries such as energy, mining, heavy engineering and manufacturing, these machines are ideal for components including turbine housings, windmill parts, large motor blocks and other oversized workpieces.

Featuring robust two-step or three-step gearbox designs, ŠMT machines deliver extremely high spindle torque for heavy roughing operations while maintaining the high spindle speeds required for precision finishing. This combination provides outstanding machining performance across a wide range of applications.

The fully hydrostatic machine design, together with heavily ribbed, large-scale castings and micron-level manufacturing precision, ensures exceptional rigidity, stability and vibration damping. This allows for heavy chip removal, superior surface finishes and consistent machining accuracy over extended periods of operation.

Developed using advanced engineering principles and modern machining technologies, ŠMT horizontal boring and milling machines offer the reliability, performance and precision required for today’s most demanding manufacturing environments.

ŠMT High-Speed Horizontal Boring and Milling Machines are engineered for the efficient machining of large and complex workpieces, including turbine components, windmill parts, large castings and heavy industrial assemblies. Designed for demanding production environments, these machines deliver an ideal balance of power, speed and precision.

The advanced two-step gearbox integrated into the ram allows for extended ram (Z-axis) and spindle (W-axis) travel while maintaining high spindle speeds. This modern machine concept enables the use of the latest cutting tools and machining technologies, significantly improving productivity and machining performance.

Built on a fully hydrostatic platform, ŠMT machines provide outstanding accuracy, rigidity and long-term reliability. High feed rates can be achieved without compromising precision, allowing manufacturers to maximise throughput while maintaining exceptional part quality.

Utilising advanced ram compensation technology, patented by ŠMT, the machine maintains micron-level accuracy even when the ram is fully extended from the headstock. Combined with modern engineering design and proven machine construction, these machines deliver the performance, stability and precision required for today’s most demanding machining applications.
